I don’t get it

In addition to his homer in the first game, I think Rizzo has had 3 singles in this series. That means he has been a baserunner on first base three times. My immediate thought every time is that the Cardinals pitchers should throw over to first at least 3 times while he is on base. This would require him to either turn on that bad ankle or jam it into the base. 3 singles x 3 throws over = 9 increases in inflammation. Why are they not doing that? Why are they not bunting more on him?

All good questions in my mind and way of thinking.

Why on earth Bader wouldn't bunt one his way is beyond me.
